Most neck knives were small in size to reduce the weigh. Its not what we think that is important. It is what you think after wearing that knife around your neck all day long, tht will be important.
I think you will find that the wide blade serves no useful purpose to you. A narrower blade will do what you want to do with that short a blade.
The workmanship is excellent. Congratulations. :thumbsup: :hatsoff:

I agree. Great workmanship, but the width of the blade only adds weight, with no added benefit. But then, style is important too. Some people like a wide blade, even if there's no practical value.

Looks like an excellent small game or furbearer spcialty knife. Where you wear it will be your own decision but I don't like to carry knives around my neck :shocked2:
Is it meant to hang upside down as you carry it?

Very nice. :thumbsup:
I'm not into neck knives, but I would be very proud if I were able to duplicate the workmanship of this one.

I hadn't thought of hanging one upside down. That sure solves the problem of drawing it one-handed, as I want to be able to do with a neck knife. I really hate knives hanging from a belt. They take up too much room inside a bag, and I haven't got around to putting one on the outside of my bag. Basically I'm looking for utility rather than any concern about whether someone thinks I'm PC for their interests. If it's not a neck knife, it's going to be a folder in my pocket or maybe, just maybe on my bag.
Any fears of that blade piercing the leather if you fall on it or bang into something? I've recently tried lining sheaths- one with rawhide and the other with thin, carefully fitted slabs of oak. Not completely happy with the rawhide, and the wood works well. Liner #3 is going to be wood.
